HOW TO USE THE MANUAL PROGRAM
Turn on the power
To turn on the power, press any button on the
console or simply begin pedaling. Note: If batteries
were just installed, the power will already be on.
Select the manual program
Each time the power
is turned on, the
manual program will
automatically be
selected, as shown
by the ÒP-1Ó in the
display. (P-1 is the manual program.) If you have
selected a different program, select the manual
mode again by pressing the program button
repeatedly until the ÒP-1Ó reappears.
Begin pedaling and adjust the resistance of
the pedals as desired
As you exercise, press the resistance + and Ð
buttons to adjust the resistance of the pedals.
Note: After the buttons are pressed, it may take a
moment for the selected resistance setting to be
reached.
Follow your progress with the console display
As you exercise, the
matrix on the left
side of the display
will show your
progress. During the
first minute that you
pedal, the first column of the matrix will flash; dur-
ing the second minute, the second column will
flash; during the third minute, the third column will
flash, and so on, until the tenth column is flash-
ing. After you have pedaled for ten minutes, the
matrix will reset and the first column will begin to
flash again.
The matrix will also show the resistance level of
the pedals. As you press the resistance + or Ð
button, the height of the columns in the matrix will
increase or decrease.
In addition to the matrix, the display will show
your pedaling speed, the number of Calories you
have burned, the elapsed time and the distance
you have pedaled. The display will also show
your heart rate when the pulse sensor is used
(see step 5).
Note: The console
can display speed in
miles per hour, kilo-
meters per hour or
repetitions per minute.
The letters ÒMPH,Ó
ÒKMH,Ó or ÒRPMÓ will appear in the display to
show which unit of measurement is selected. To
change the unit of measurement, first hold down
the select button for three seconds. Press the
resistance + or Ð button to change the unit of
measurement. Note: If you select miles per hour,
distance will be displayed in miles. If you select
kilometers per hour or repetitions per minute,
distance will be displayed in kilometers.
Measure your heart rate if desired
To use the pulse sen-
sor, place your hands
on the metal contacts.
Your palms must be
resting on the con-
tacts closest to you
and your fingers must
be touching the other
contacts. Avoid mov-
ing your hands. After
a moment, the heart
indicator in the display
will begin to flash and
your heart rate will be
shown. For the most
accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the
contacts for about 15 seconds. WARNING: The
pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various
factors, including the user's movement, may
affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The
pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise
aid in determining heart rate trends in general.
Note: If your heart rate is not shown, press the
resistance Ð button to reset the pulse sensor.
In addition, make sure that your hands are posi-
tioned as described above. Be careful not to
move your hands excessively or squeeze the
metal contacts too tightly.
When you are finished exercising, turn off the
power
To turn off the power, simply wait for about
three minutes. If the pedals are not moved and
the console buttons are not pressed for three
minutes, the power will turn off automatically.
